January to April 2009

Ok, we got a new laptop and I couldn't remember the URL for this blog, so it has been nearly 4 months since the last post - oops! I'm getting worse and worse. Anyway, last few months have been relatively quiet - winter blahs. Spring has now arrived and we are getting out more again at last.



Clara is speaking more and more clearly lately, and has begun to speak in more or less complete (though not usually grammatically correct) sentences ("Bye-bye bunny, thank you chocolate"; "Friends are ready" etc.), which is exciting to see (even though she doesn't always say what we want to hear! - "No like it!").

We did enjoy a February get-away to Rome for a week, which was lovely. There, Clara discovered the joys of gelato and pigeon-chasing.

The weather has warmed up, and so has our house. We can peel off the sweaters and tights at last!

We dyed some easter eggs:

Clara was definitely NOT a fan of the Easter Bunny, but she did enjoy decorating eggs, and she loved the chocolate!
